[QUOTE="airshot, post: 513686, member: 1183"] Those seams never should have been sealed. The rivets are what was leaking. People don't understand how aluminum boats were put together so the just start filling any crack they can find. Those seams were designed to be open so tbose aluminum strakes could empty out trapped water. The rivets just needed bucked to stop any leaks. The inside should have been sealed with gluvit for any leaking rivets if the bucking didn't seal them. Gluvit does not work well on the outside, there are far better products to cover the outside in todays market. [/QUOTE]
